Critiques

An insightful look into another era.


(4 stars)

Well read, except for one chapter. An interesting look back on the middle east in another era. Insights into British imperialism. Very well written.

Great book but I wish it had a single reader.


(4.5 stars)

I love Kinglake's sarcasm and totally British sense of humor! He could make anything, even the plague, seem funny in hindsight. He was a rash young fool when he was younger, that's for sure. But what an adventure he had in the East! I wonder what his mother would have thought. I think the best reader in this book is hefyd. He just seems to communicate Kinglake's whimsical happy-go-lucky character, and plus, he has a British accent, which makes it better. All the other readers are good except for Varra Unreal, whose foreign accent is so thick she can hardly be understood. In general, I just prefer books with single readers, it gives some consistency. P.S. No idea why it's called Eothen, but I didn't read the appendix. Maybe it says in there.
